Side I<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (begins in mid-sentence) \u2013and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve got. But you see, this Bible also said some other things King James put in here. You gotta know King James, you gotta know that sneaky devil. He put in there, \u201cSlave, servant, obey your master.\u201d Says, \u201cyou got a good master, be thankful. If you have a bad master, endure<\/em> him.\u201d Says, (voice rises and falls in ministerial cadence) \u201cWomen, keep silent in all the churches. Suffer not a woman to speak.\u201d There\u2019s a lot of bad medicine in there, if you don\u2019t have the Spirit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: If you don\u2019t have the Spirit to guide<\/em> you, you\u2019re in much trouble. It says in there\u2013 It\u2019s got lies<\/em> put in there in the mouth of the apostles, saying \u201cwhatever state<\/em> you find yourself in, therewith be content. Whether slave or free.\u201d It said, If you\u2019ve got a good master \u2013 I\u2019m talking about the book \u2013 It said, if you\u2019ve got a goo\u2013 a good master, be thankful, but if you\u2019ve got a bad master\u201d who kills your children, rapes<\/em> your wife, endure him.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) It\u2019s in the book. (raises voice in ministerial cadence) That\u2019s why you\u2019ve<\/em> got to have the Spirit<\/em>to lead you and guide you (in full throat) (voice overwhelms tape)<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) And in the cl\u2013 in the closing\u2013 in the closing, I\u2019ll offer you this little booklet [The Letter Killeth<\/a><\/em>] so you can read<\/em> for yourself \u2013 and if you can\u2019t pay for it, I\u2019ll give it to you \u2013 and I\u2019ll give you just one little quote from it, and if you don\u2019t believe me, you go home and read The Age of Reason <\/em>by the founder of this country, he told you all <\/em>the lies of King James. You go home and you get Mark Twain, who was a white<\/em> man who still had a wonderful field-nigger heart. He told all <\/em>the truth about the Bible \u2013 whole book called The Letter from the Earth<\/em>, The Letters From the Earth<\/em>. You better get those truths. \u2018Cause you gotta take the truth from a lie. Said, \u201cKing James was the one that wrote the Bible\u201d \u2013 yes<\/em> \u2013 but he was also the one that sent the Good Ship Jesus to Africa, to bring our first people back in\u2013 as slaves. (voice rises, then falls) He owned<\/em> slaves. He killed<\/em> slaves. He murdered even his own family. He was a drunk<\/em>, and he was a child-molester. (voice rises sharply) King James! I\u2019m talkin\u2019 about King James! \u2018Cause King James\u2013 Some of you thought that was James, the brother of Jesus. It was the King of England<\/em>! (voice moderates) Now, I know it\u2019s heavy, heavy, heavy. And I wish I didn\u2019t have to tell you. But if I don\u2019t tell you, then you\u2019ll be lost. It was too late when they come (knocks on pulpit) rappin\u2019 on your door some night \u2013 like they did the Japanese \u2013 and yank you out like I know one precious woman in San Fernando Valley, before my time, they took<\/em> her out. Her two sons were fighting for the American soldiers, a\u2013 the service. (speaks quietly) They jerked<\/em> her out and she said, \u201cCan I take a picture of my son?\u201d Said \u201cNo.\u201d They put her in a truck and locked<\/em> her in a boxcar and sent her to the desert of Colorado, and she spit her stomach out piece<\/em> by piece<\/em> with cancer, and they wouldn\u2019t even give her an aspirin tablet, and her sons fought right through, and got the Purple Heart. But all the farm was taken away, a thousand acres. When he got home, there was no land. So I\u2019m tellin\u2019 you, if you<\/em> don\u2019t like it, that\u2019s your problem. I am in the truth<\/em> business. Not in the Cadillac-driving, I\u2019m not in the\u2013 I\u2019m not in the church-building, the formal, gaudiness building. I\u2019m not building for churches and havin\u2019 all these churches in every block. All these churches oughta get themselves together, \u2018cause each one of \u2018em could have a service, if they want\u2013 all these preachers have to\u2013 they don\u2019t want to get up at seven o\u2019clock in the morning like the rest of us and work, then they could share one building and they could have a (voice rising throughout) seven o\u2019clock service, eight o\u2019clock service, a nine o\u2019clock service, you could put the Baptists and Holiness, all of \u2018em in one service. But what do we do? (in full throat) We take all of our money \u2013 we made money, we worked hard, but where is our money<\/em>? Where is black people\u2019s money<\/em>? Look up and down Broad Street! It\u2019s in these big old churches, that\u2019s where it\u2019s at!<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (lengthy cheers, applause) That\u2019s right! Wake up!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) They\u2019re gonna use that Bible against you in the last day, just like they did the Union of South Africa. That\u2019s how they got the black people to go into the deserts at first, they went in and Christianized them (pause) with a form of godliness, the letter that kills, and they then rounded them up (pause) because they said it says (cries out) obey those<\/em> that rule, (voice quiets) have rule over you. Now you know that\u2019s not right. [You] Say, \u201cOh, Now, now, now, now, now \u2013 I saw Roots<\/em>, I saw\u2013\u201d Let me tell you, you didn\u2019t see nothing, you heard all these people prayin\u2019 and singin\u2019\u2013 but Harriet Tubman, that brought us freedom, Harriet Tubman was settin\u2019 in a church meeting, settin\u2019 in a church meeting. I do<\/em> have to say this. She was sitting in a church meeting and her husband would listen to all this and he was settin\u2019 there, and she\u2019d had her back broken by the slavemaster\u2019s rod. They\u2019d never let her read, they\u2019d never let her write. I\u2019m\u2013 Oh, you know who she is, we ought<\/em> to know who she is. She\u2019s the one that started the freedom train and brought us a\u2013 the first freedom. (pause) The old jackleg was standin\u2019 up there, sayin\u2019 (mimics preacherly tone; speaks slowly and sleepily) Obey your husband. Be silent in the church. Obey your master. If you\u2019ve got a good master, be thankful. If you\u2019ve got a bad master, endure him. Obey those that have rule over you. Whatever state you find\u2013 (raises voice) She said \u201cI\u2019m tired of this!\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: She said \u201cWhere are you getting\u2019 this stuff?\u201d Said \u201cWhat are you doin\u2019, woman? (mimics preacherly tone) Be silent!\u201d (voice returns to normal) Said \u201cI won\u2019t.\u201d Said \u201cWhy should I listen to you?\u201d Said \u201cBecause the Word of God says it!\u201d Says \u201cI can\u2019t read nor write. Then if it\u2019s the Word of God, anything that\u2019s a word can talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: So she said \u201cGive me that book!\u201d She took that book, she put it up to the left ear. They don\u2019t put that in your books.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (speaking quickly) They\u2013 You can get a little comic book that they\u2019ll give us\u2013 some of the children in some of the black schools or liberation school, but you don\u2019t get this on there. She put this up to her left ear, said \u201cIt don\u2019t say nothin\u2019 here.\u201d She took it over here and put it in the right ear and said \u201c[It] Don\u2019t say nothin\u2019 here.\u201d She looked back at Tubman, she said \u201cI\u2019ve listened to this man all I\u2019m going to. You goin\u2019 with me?\u201d Said (voices rises to full throat) \u201cI love you, Tubman, but I love freedom more. I\u2019m leaving tonight! I\u2019m goin\u2019 out, and I\u2019m gonna set my people free.\u201d Tubman said \u201cNo, I\u2019m not goin\u2019, woman. You\u2019re out of your place! You should be silent!\u201d She said \u201cI\u2019m not gone do it!\u201d She said \u201cI know what I can use this book for, \u2018cause it can\u2019t talk.\u201d But she said \u201cthese thin pages, I can know what I can wipe with em\u2019 on a cold winter night!\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (loud cheers, applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (still speaking loudly) Now that\u2019s what a woman who was called the Moses<\/em> of her time. (voice moderates) Said, \u201cAw, she sang spirituals.\u201d She sang spirituals. My friend, you have forgotten your history. What do you think that song, when I said that, \u201cshe sang that song to\u2013 because she was blessed, she felt a blessing from this unknown god.\u201d No, no, no, no, even your Bible tells you don\u2019t worship an unknown god, apostle Paul said anybody who prays to an unknown god that they can\u2019t see is su\u2013 uh, ignorant and too superstitious. Said, you are blasphemers to worship an unknown god.(pause) No, what was she doing? Now we\u2019re getting the truth, in the last few days. (begins singing \u201cSteal Away\u201d) Steal away, steal away ho, I\u2013 God longed to stay here (ceases singing) It wasn\u2019t no song to no uh, ghost or no unknowing god, it was a song (voice rises in intensity) to the slaves to get on board the freedom train that\u2019s comin\u2019 through!<\/p>\n

Congregation: <\/strong>(cheers, applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (continues in full ministerial fervor) There weren\u2019t talkin\u2019 about goin\u2019 up to no streets of gold. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t understand the teachings of Jesus. He said, the kingdom comes on earth, amongst men. He said \u201cbuild the kingdom of heaven on earth as it was in the imaginary heaven.\u201d And John said \u201cI see a new\u00a0<\/em>heaven coming down\u00a0<\/em>out of the sky, coming down\u00a0<\/em>as a bride is going for her husband.\u201d Heaven on earth. (voice moderates) Jesus said heaven is within you. Heaven is nigh you. As you think in your mind, so is you, so are you. Where the spirit of God is, there\u2019s liberty. Said, when the spirit of God comes, in the new order, he said you will feed the hungry and clothe the naked and take in the stranger and release the prisoners<\/em>. (Pause) (Calms) He said that\u2019s the way he was gonna judge you. (begins speaking more quickly) Not whether you talked in tongues or was baptized three times forward or sprinkled or belong to the Baptist church or the Methodist Church or the Church of God. That don\u2019t mean nothing, friend. You better belong to the spirit\u00a0<\/em>of God, to have that spirit within you. You\u2019d better become a living\u00a0<\/em>epistle, because the Bible will kill\u00a0<\/em>you, but kill\u2013 the killer, the killer, the killer, the Bible, the letter kills<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Congregation member<\/strong>: Yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>[It] Says search the scripture (voice slowly rises) for in them you just think<\/em> you have eternal life but (in full throat) these are they that testify of the living Christ of me and you will not come that you might have life.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong>(cheers, applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) You cannot find life in the scriptures. You got to find life in you,Christ\u00a0<\/em>in you. Christ\u00a0<\/em>in you must be your hope of glory. No\u00a0<\/em>Christ in the sky. But they got us sick<\/em> today, they got our brains wrapped up<\/em>, and they\u2019ve even got\u2013 they\u2019ve even got white men doin\u2019\u00a0<\/em>it, driving out of our neighborhood, in their big Cadillacs, right here on Broad Street takin\u2019 our money. Takin\u2019\u00a0<\/em>our money and wouldn\u2019t even let us through their back door.<\/p>\n

Congregation: <\/strong>(Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>(In full throat)I know you don\u2019t like this last closing minutes. You won\u2019t like this last closing minute, I\u2019m going to say it anyhow. Takin\u2019 our money, s\u2013 rippin\u2019 us off, stealin\u2019 us blind, (voice low and intense) all because we don\u2019t know what the true\u00a0<\/em>scripture really means. We don\u2019t have a prophet, and he said, you cannot hear without a prophet. He said, you are saved\u00a0<\/em>by the foolishness of preaching. (voice rising) He didn\u2019t say, you\u2019re saved by Bible-reading, it said \u201cFaith cometh by hearing, and hearing (in full throat) by the word of God!<\/p>\n

Congregation: <\/strong>(cheers, applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: And said, the word of God is nigh thee, even\u00a0<\/em>in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word. Not out of a book. He said, the word of God is nigh\u00a0<\/em>thee, even in thy\u00a0mouth\u00a0<\/em>(pause), and in thy heart. (voice moderates) So the man rips you off, and tells you, you gonna fly away to twelve gates to the city. City foursquare\u2013 King James\u2019s taken those Bible verses and made them so ridiculous, any child would know something\u2019s wrong. (Cries out) City\u00a0foursquare<\/em>? (Calms) Can you imagine all of us goin\u2019 someplace for the rest of eternity in a city that was only four squares? (pause) Can you imagine all the folks that have ever died in the faith going to a heaven where there\u2019s only twelve gates to the city? (pause) (Voice rises) You have to start thinkin\u2019, because they got your mind wrapped up with poison.<\/p>\n

Voice in congregation: <\/strong>That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Says, \u201cI don\u2019t need to think.\u201d Okay. One day you\u2019re gonna be callin\u2019\u00a0<\/em>on me. You try to get a hold\u00a0<\/em>of me. But you\u2019re gonna have to call overseas, cable.<\/p>\n

Voice in congregation<\/strong>: Come on!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I\u2019ll give you the number, it\u2019s a long distance call.<\/p>\n

Voice in congregation: <\/strong>Uh-huh.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: The cable runs under the ocean.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(voice quickening, rising) If you want to get us, you going to have to get us on the cable line. [You] Say, \u201cOh, I\u2019ll never<\/em>!\u201d I\u2019ll bet you, I\u2019ll bet you \u2013 I\u2019m not a gambler \u2013 but some of you people don\u2019t like me tonight, you hate me and want me to quit preachin\u2019, but one day you\u2019re going to say (in full throat) Jim Jones, will you call?<\/p>\n

Congregation: <\/strong>(cheers, sustained applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) Because this is a church. A church has got to get itself together and build its heaven. \u2018Cause you can\u2019t count on too much what they tell you. You can\u2019t count on anything that the white man has given you in his book. And I\u2019ll give you this in closing, and show you. And this is it. It tells you the birth of Jesus in Matthew, in the first chapter in the sixteenth verse. It also tells you the same\u00a0<\/em>story, in Luke\u00a0<\/em>the third chapter the twenty-third verse through the thirty-fourth verse. But some\u2013 something\u2019s wrong. One of them tells it different than the other one. Now if you and I do that, they call one of us a liar. Matthew\u2013 Matthew says Jesus\u2019s dad was Joseph. Now, I know some of these churches that want to protect their anniversaries and their preachers, and the only busses you got here tonight if you want to go home with us \u2013 if you want to go home, if you want to go to freedom \u2013 I don\u2019t know, some of you may end up out to the port to get on to the best home you ever had, but wherever you want to go, we\u2019ll get you to home tonight. If you haven\u2019t got a dime, we\u2019ll put you on that bus. I mean, if you haven\u2019t got a dime, I don\u2019t care what your condition, I don\u2019t care if you\u2019ve got not a dime. I don\u2019t care if you don\u2019t have anything in your pocket. Or if you don\u2019t have any clothes, we\u2019ll get\u00a0<\/em>you some clothes.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: We\u2019ll take you home because we do it in every city.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Now say. (Tsks) You better hear\u00a0<\/em>this, because you have been lied to and a thing you\u2019ve been depending upon isn\u2019t gonna happen. Matthew says that Jesus\u2019 dad was Joseph. Luke<\/em> says Jesus\u2019 dad was Joseph. But then Matthew\u00a0<\/em>says Jesus\u2019 granddad\u00a0<\/em>was Jacob<\/em>. Now we got trouble, \u2018cause Luke<\/em> says Jesus\u2019 granddad was Heli<\/em>. Go home and read it. You won\u2019t like what you find, I know, but at least when you get through it, you\u2019ll feel better. \u2018Cause we\u2019re the healthiest people and the freest\u00a0<\/em>people and I\u2019ve got folk livin\u2019 a hundred and six, I got preachers down there in the Promised Land one hundred and two\u00a0<\/em>buildin\u2019 sidewalks. And even got new life. (Short laugh) I\u2013 One of them got so much life, his wife had to ask me to meditate to hold him down.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (laughs, applauds)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I won\u2019t go into tha\u2013 (chuckles, waits for congregation\u2019s laughter to subside). He was raised from the dead. You know who I\u2019m talkin\u2019 about. Pop Jackson.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (laughs, cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Pop Jackson. He was arrested because he had\u2013 he was a good man, helping poor people, and 97 years of age, they threw him in jail, and his Baptist church would not get him out.I<\/em> got him out.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice grows more insistent throughout) I said, \u201cI\u2019ll have him out in twenty minutes\u201d \u2018cause he was a good man. I got him out. And when I got him out, he was healed<\/em>, he was raised\u00a0<\/em>from the dead later, he had a stroke and raised from the literal dead. Had a broken leg, crippled leg. Now he walks, when I come \u2013 I just got back from there \u2013 when I\u2013 when I step in there, that man is so powerful, he\u2019s got so much life, \u2018cause he\u2019s got free\u00a0<\/em>from the old dead letter.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: He\u2019s got so much power, he lifts me clear up off the ground and hugs me and holds me in midair. Hundred and two<\/em>, he\u2019ll be a hundred and three this Christmas. And he\u2019s no way ready to stop. Not only does he build sidewalks, he could build other things too, if you\u2019d let him.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, applauds)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice grows louder) So I know what\u2019s working for me<\/em>. And I know what\u2019s working for our people. We got people uh\u2013 uh\u2013 do\u2013 they read in all the black papers across the nation, a woman a hundred and ten years of age that was cured of blindness through my ministry.<\/p>\n

Man in Congregation<\/strong>: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice grows quiet) We got \u2018em way up there. But this\u00a0<\/em>Bible, without\u00a0<\/em>a prophet, will lead you to hell. (pause) And that\u2019s sad, but it\u2019s true. Because Matthew says Jesus\u2019s granddad was Jacob, but Luke says Jesus\u2019s granddad is (cries out) Heli<\/em>. Now I\u2013 You\u2019ll say, oh, oh, one of those preachers wantin\u2019 to protect his Cadillac\u2019ll say \u201cone of \u2018em was tracin\u2019 Jesus through Mary.\u201d Now you know better\u2019n that. You know better\u2019n that, \u2018cause in both of \u2018em said Joseph. And you know the Jews back though, there was prejudice then. They trace everything through the man. And say well, oh well, one of \u2018em\u2013 one of the preachers try and tell one of the people\u2013 people in Chicago not to come back anymore \u2018cause he gets a Cadillac and he\u2019s got diamonds and everything else, he\u2019s just ripped the people off, he said (conspiratorial tone) \u201cwell,\u201d he said, \u201cthat was just a nickname.\u201d You know better\u2019n that. Jews don\u2019t give\u00a0<\/em>their people nicknames. Mary Magdalene, Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph, what<\/em>? Of Aramathea. They name the man one name, and where he came from. What town he came from. You understand what I\u2019m talkin\u2019 about? Jesus, why Jesus of Nazareth? Said, but Jesus had one\u2013 two<\/em> names. No, he didn\u2019t. He had one name. Christ<\/em> is a name that all of you got. Ohhh. (grows louder throughout) The anointing. That\u2019s Christ, means \u201cthe anointing.\u201d He said, \u201cChrist in you,\u00a0<\/em>the hope of glory.\u201d Jesus, the Christ, meant he came into\u00a0<\/em>the fullness of godship, he came into the fullness\u00a0<\/em>of the hundredfold and (in full ministerial fervor) manifested\u00a0<\/em>all the power\u00a0<\/em>of being liberated\u00a0<\/em>from the dead letter and all the forms of religion! He was a free man, that\u2019s why he became Christ.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, applauds)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Full throat) Jesus Christ<\/em>. And if you were living where you oughta be tonight, you\u2019d be Mabel Christ<\/em>. And Harry Christ<\/em>! And James Christ<\/em>! And Arnold Christ<\/em>! And Joan Christ<\/em>! And Ruth Christ<\/em>! (voice moderates) Because that means Ruth<\/em>the anointed.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: John the anointed. (Tsks) I know, I know. You won\u2019t hear it, \u2018cause preachers want to keep you givin\u2019 those Cadillacs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (reasonable, matter-of-fact tone) Now I\u2013 Now\u2013 All right, now let us just say that it was\u00a0<\/em>a nickname, which everybody knows better than that. Matthew says Jesus\u2019s granddad was Jacob<\/em>, Luke says his granddad was Heli. And I\u2019ll close here. Matthew\u00a0<\/em>says Jesus\u2019s great<\/em>-granddad was Matthan<\/em>. M-a-t-t-h-a-n. (voice grows louder) Now we really do have trouble, because Luke<\/em>says it was Matthat<\/em>\u2013 M-a-t-t-h-a-t. One of them spells it one letter different. [You] Say, \u201cthat don\u2019t worry me.\u201d It sure does worry me,<\/em>when I\u2019m countin\u2019 on going someplace by a book.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (agrees, claps)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You know, if\u2013 if I\u2013 if I took a roadmap and it told me to take [Interstate] 40 and I\u2019d get to Chicago, and I end up in Kansas City, I would put that roadmap away.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, claps)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: What are you saying? I am saying you should do just exactly like Jesus. They came to him and said \u201cit\u2019s written,\u201d and it is, in the old law, Levitical law, said, \u201cMan is made for the Sabbath.\u201d (Unintelligible word) said\u2013 One of his disciples come up and plucked\u00a0<\/em>him an ear of corn right on the Sabbath, started eatin\u2019 it right there, eatin\u2019 him some\u2013 he ate him some fresh popcorn. (Smacks lips) And they come and said (in full throat) \u201cIt\u2019s written!\u201d (voice moderates) Jesus said \u201cI don\u2019t care what is written.\u201d Said \u201cIt\u2019s written!\u201d The old rabbis, the old Bible scholars said (in full throat) \u201cIt\u2019s written! (Claps twice) Man\u00a0<\/em>is made for the Sabbath!\u201d Jesus said, \u201cI turn it around.\u201d He said, \u201cThe Sabbath is made for man! Everything is made for man.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) Earth<\/em> was made for man. They want to get you up there in that sky<\/em>control. They want to get you lookin\u2019 up. I remember when I came through Los Angeles, (short laugh) and they told me the first time I was in Los Angeles, I came by a big church, and a man said, \u201cI perceive\u00a0<\/em>that you\u2019re a prophet.\u201d I was eatin\u2019 ribs. I don\u2019t know what that had to do with it, but I was eatin\u2019 ribs\u2013<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (scattered laughter)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013and he said, \u201cI perceive\u00a0<\/em>that you\u2019re a prophet.\u201d He said \u201cyou\u2019re preach\u2013 you\u2019re a preacher.\u201d I said, \u201cI am.\u201d He said, \u201cI\u2019m havin\u2019 an anniversary tomorrow morning.\u201d I got one of his members in the church here, where\u2019s she at? She\u2019s right here somewhere. Right\u2013 there she is. I\u2013\u00a0She was a\u2013 she was the minister\u2019s\u2013 the assis\u2013 assistant minister\u2019s wife. I took her, I\u2013 I mean, I messed that church up.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (laughter)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: She was right there. He said, \u201cI\u2013 I know\u00a0<\/em>you\u2019re a prophet.\u201d And (claps once) he said, (imitates ministerial fervor) \u201cThe Lord has told me for you to preach at my anniversary.\u201d I lowered my glasses and I said, \u201cYou better be sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (laughter)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: He said, \u201cI\u2019m sure<\/em>.\u201d I got in there, and you know how they do on those anniversaries, \u2018cause I hate those things, I don\u2019t believe in those things. I wouldn\u2019t take an anniversary. I\u2019d die\u00a0<\/em> before I\u2019d take one. I wouldn\u2019t take a birthday or a Christmas gift, \u2018cause it\u2019s unholy when people (voice grows in intensity) livin\u2019 like most of our people are in these churches, don\u2019t even have enough to heat\u00a0<\/em>themselves, don\u2019t have enough decent clothes\u00a0<\/em>or food<\/em>, and then preachers gettin\u2019 anniversaries, pastors\u2019 appreciation day, pastor\u2019s birthday, pastor\u2019s wives\u2019 tea, (in full throat) that\u2019s sin! That\u2019s respect of persons.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) Peace. (Pause) I got him, he was settin\u2019 up there, settin\u2019 in his little old chair, and I lowered the boom. I was preachin\u2019 there, I had a little old man, I never shall forget. Little old man had his little white gloves on, ready to take up the offering, ready for the anniversary. He was eighty, I don\u2019t know what he was that time, Minnie, maybe\u2013 \u2018member, maybe eighty, I judge he\u2019s 80. Now, wait\u2013 wait. He was 70, but he\u2019s way up in his eighties now \u2018cause he\u2019s free, we got him out of it. I kept on preachin\u2019, I preachin\u2019 about the dead letter, and I was preachin\u2019 about the letter that kills and I was preachin\u2019 about respect a person\u2019s anniversary. He just finally (voice drops) took off his gloves. (pause) Never will forget that little old precious black man. And he stood right there over that offering plate and throwed them in. (Tsks) And he said, \u201cYes, I wish I\u2019da heard this little nigger long time ago.\u201d He said, \u201cFor forty years,\u201d he said, \u201cI\u2019ve been taking up anniversaries for preachers.\u201d And he said, \u201cI\u2019ve been singin\u2019 that song \u2018Take the whole world and give me Jesus\u2019.\u201d And he said, \u201cThey done taken the whole world and given me nothing\u00a0<\/em>but Jesus!\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice rising in volume and intensity) And you see, we\u2019re not\u2013 we\u2019re not deprecating Christ. No, no, no, no, no, we\u2019re not deprecating Christ, we\u2019re not speaking against Christ. You\u2019re not to know any man after the flesh, not even Jesus. Forget those things which are behind you, you\u2019re to know the Christ in you<\/em>! You\u2019re not to know any more about me than the\u2013 what I can quicken of the Christ in you. The truth! I\u2019m only being used for the truth. You\u2019ll only be used for the truth. (voice moderates) But that man got the truth<\/em>, and he\u2019s still alive, but he ain\u2019t takin\u2019 any more offerings. He\u2019s taking no more offerings for jacklegs. And that preacher, before I got through with that anniversary \u2013 that was one of the happiest moments of my life, because there\u2019s a lot of suffering and coming into the hundredfold to be crucified \u2013 but I look back often on that day and I think of Minnie and her precious family because I split that church wide open (makes splitting sound). He thought I\u2013 he\u2013 he said the Lord sent me. Well, (Short laugh) if the Lord sent me, the Lord tore the place up.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (calls, applause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Peace. (Pause) Anyway. He slid down through that chair, you couldn\u2019t even see his head when I was through. (Short laugh) They didn\u2019t even take the plate. There wasn\u2019t no money there. (laughs)<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (laughs)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: The truth\u00a0<\/em>will set you free! (ministerial fervor) So you hear what Harriet Tubman said. Nobody gonna tell me some lie, obey my master! Nobody gonna tell me that I\u2019m to be silent in the church! Nobody\u2019s for me, I\u2019m supposed to appreciate a good master or a bad master or be content (speaks quietly) in whatever state I find myself. \u201cNaw,\u201d she said, \u201cThat\u2019s not\u2013 I\u2019m not listenin\u2019 to that. I\u2019m leavin\u2019.\u201d And that\u2019s what you better do. You better see that your preacher gives you a little bit more than what you been gettin\u2019. You better see that there\u2019s some apostolic sharing, some Pentecostal socialism. You\u2019d better see that there\u2019s some communication, real\u00a0<\/em>sharing, like you can see seniors here. You can do it. Yes. I\u2019m not\u2013 I\u2019m not good-looking, I\u2019m not bright, I\u2019m just an ordinary field nigger.<\/a> What do I do? We share. We share. That\u2019s why our seniors can travel all\u00a0<\/em>over the United States in Greyhound busses that they own. And every church could own them, but the reason\u00a0<\/em>they don\u2019t own them is because there\u2019s too much money being siphoned off for the preachers. The only time most of us get in busses \u2013 unless we get in a church that\u2019s really living socialism, like this is \u2013 the only time you ever get in that bus is to go across town. He\u2019ll rent a bus to take you across town so he can preach and hold an anniversary service there, so those poor folks \u2013 six months later \u2013 can be bussed back to hold an anniversary for him. (full throat) You know all about it, honey, (voice moderates) you know all about it.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: So now will you shift yourself? I know some of you\u2019ve endured as much as you can take tonight. (pause)<\/p>\n

(Tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Get healed. (pause) But you gotta have the truth first. (pause) Just put your hand on your neighbor. I\u2019ll write down any revelation that is private. I won\u2019t speak\u00a0<\/em>out things that\u2019ll embarrass you. And I\u2019m telling you, you can have life. Uh\u2013 Lots of you could have a great deal more<\/em>, if you just come and go with us, \u2018cause it\u2019s hard\u00a0<\/em>for you to know, you know you have to try\u00a0<\/em>the Spirit. I can say a lot\u00a0<\/em>of things here tonight, but you come out and see\u00a0<\/em>how I live, you\u2019ll see I practice\u00a0<\/em>what I preach. [You say,] I can\u2019t go out there. I told\u00a0<\/em>you to get on there tonight. We\u2019ll hold up the bus long enough you to go home and get your little bit of things. You can take your wraps and put \u2018em in a gunny sack and come on with us.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Cries out) Sure do need the truth now! We need to build heaven on earth. We\u2019d better do something about this earth. And I want you to look, \u2018cause you\u2019ll go out and see a little bit of heaven. How many\u2013 how much heaven? Not foursquare. Twenty-seven thousand acres. Big beautiful homes. Apostolic community. Great big dining room. Two hundred different crops. Mineral streams is growing, no\u2013 no impure air. Never gets cold. Never gets too hot. Ahh. I\u2019m talkin\u2019 about a little bit of heaven on earth. Say, \u201cI\u2019m waitin\u2019 on\u2013 I\u2019m gonna die to go to heaven.\u201d Okay. Each to their own. If you wanna think you\u2019re gonna die, you\u2019ll die. But I believe it said, \u201cAs a man thinketh in his mind, so is he.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I\u2019d like to encourage you to think about living. As our hands are clasped, neighbor to neighbor, (music and singing of \u201cIf We Ever Needed the Lord Before (We Sure Do Need Him Now)\u201d begins) may the spirit of revelation move upon the people\u2019s minds. More important than anything, not their healing \u2013 that\u2019s important \u2013 but if you don\u2019t get your mind healed, all the healings in the body won\u2019t do one ounce of good. Our hands are clasped. That means to change them \u2018til you feel love, love sufficient. Sure do need him now<\/p>\n

Female Singer<\/strong>: (singing, with Congregation in background)<\/p>\n

Sure do need him now, sure do need him now,
\nIf you ever, ever needed a savior before,
\nSure do need him now,
\nNeed him every day and every hour,
\nMmm, if you ever, ever needed a savior before,

Female Singer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\nSure do need him now,
\nYou s\u2013 sure do need him now,

\nSure do need him now,
\nNeed him every day and every hour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (music continues in background; singer hums) As our hands are clasped again. I\u2019m waiting on hearing things that can be spoken publicly. I\u2019ll only speak things publicly. The nurses or the medical people will take them to you. Some things will not be spoken publicly, because there\u2019s no embarrassment in the presence of God. (pause) Yes, yes.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (continues singing)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I\u2019m beginning to hear a revelation now. Just keep on singing.<\/p>\n

Female Singer<\/strong>: (singing)<\/p>\n

Sure do need him now
\nSure do need him now
\nIf you ever, ever needed a savior before
\nSure do need him now
\nNeed him every day, and every hour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Who is Katherine Sawyer here in Philadelphia? Katherine Sawyer. Who is this? (pause) Katherine Sawyer. (lengthy pause, music continues in background) Hands clasped. (lengthy pause) Did you have a doctor sometime tell you that there\u2019s something wrong with your stomach?<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: No.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013anything about your life, is that correct?<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Keep our hands clasped. (pause, music continues in background)<\/p>\n

Female Singer<\/strong>: (singing) Sure do need him now.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Keep our hands clasped, please. (lengthy pause, singing continues) Wayne\u2013 who is Wayne?<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Calls out) I said God is\u2013<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice growing to ministerial fervor) That\u2019s why you (unintelligible word) and said how can you hear without a preacher? How can he preach unless he\u2019s sent?<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, applause)<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: Yes, Lord!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: And if he hasn\u2019t got the power to\u2013<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: Yes!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013discern and to heal and to establish a church government, to do miracles, then he\u2019s not<\/em> sent.<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: She has asthma.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty<\/em> God.<\/p>\n

Katherine Sawyer<\/strong>: Yes. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: But I\u2019m gonna tell you, right now, I want to take care of every one of those loved ones, and they\u2019ll speak, I healed the uh\u2013 The one of nerves, the nervous condition, the nervous disease that nobody could heal, Kenneth, I reached out to Wayne that would have been killed on Friday night.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about black is beautiful, and we don\u2019t want to get caught up in their words, \u2018cause they got a lot of words that they try to make us look down on ourselves. If you look down at the origins of witchcraft, it didn\u2019t start with no black people. All right, all right, here, uh\u2013 Her husband had trouble too with a stomach, with his stomach\u2013<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Congregation member<\/strong>: Mighty God. Mighty God.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Now he\u2013 (Small laugh) Well, I don\u2019t need to go into that. That\u2019s all right. I just want to help build some things in your\u2013 your life, but I gotta do some work for you<\/em>, now, because you have helped others. You\u2019ve, uh, (glossolia) Aah, keep our hands clasped. (pause) Does, uh\u2013 your children have\u2013 one of your children have four children?<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Mmm-hmm. Yes.<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You were born and reared in Georgia?<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: And by the way, never say \u201craised.\u201d The white man got a thing down there for the South, he always tells us we raise<\/em>. You raise hogs. We\u2019re reared. You understand what I\u2019m saying? I\u2019m not talking to her, I\u2019m talking to\u2013 (stumbles over words) I thought<\/em> of this, I just wanted to change a word that we would use<\/em>, you know? She\u2019d use that word, lot of people would use that word, you understand what I\u2019m saying? (voice grows louder, more insistent) Always say, you\u2019re reared. You know how they used to tell us we got a little pride, bless our hearts. We need to get that all through us. We won\u2019t say we got an aunt (pronounces like \u201cant\u201d), \u2018cause we ain\u2019t come<\/em> from no ants.<\/p>\n

Voices in Congregation<\/strong>: (Calls)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: We\u2019ve got an aunt. White folks used to look at us and say, \u201cWell, what are you talkin\u2019 about, your aunt?\u201d Well, we got an aunt, not an ant!<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Calls out) And we weren\u2019t raised, we were reared! (Voice moderates) \u2018Cause you raise hogs and you raise dogs and you raise cows, but you don\u2019t raise us, honey, we rise up!<\/p>\n

Voices in Congregation<\/strong>: (shouting)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty God! (Pause) I reach out in the name of Christ. (pause) Have you ever using epsa\u2013 epso\u2013 epso tabs for your bowels?<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Some time in your life?<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty God. (Pause) Keep our hands clasped. (pause) Do you have a green leather coat someplace?<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I got two<\/em> things I gotta do for you. \u2018Cause\u2013 Don\u2019t ever use Epson salts \u2013 uh, you hear me \u2013 or espo tabs, hear me? How many hear me.<\/p>\n

Voices in Congregation<\/strong>: (acknowledge and agree)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You had difficulty in your bowels, and I\u2019ve got to do something in there because now there\u2019s a coming together, uh, an adhesion<\/em> that would\u2019ve caused you to have to have an operation where they\u2019d bring it out through your whole side. That\u2019s not gonna happen<\/em> now, and thisblue <\/em> cloth, when I give you that, that\u2019s gonna save you from a terrible tragedy. And the blue cloth, the smaller<\/em>, for your daughter, is gonna save her from that witchcraft that was done. And now I (voice rises to a shout) speak \u201cLord!\u201d (voice moderates slightly) and you\u2019re healed.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers)<\/p>\n

Susie<\/strong>: Thank you!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (in full throat) I take it from your bowels. I move it by the power of the living Christ! I healed her daughter, I take that curse of witchcraft and send it back to the one that brought it!<\/p>\n

Female Singer<\/strong>: I sure do need him now, yes, sure do need him now.<\/p>\n

(sound fades away, tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (begins in mid-sentence) \u2013the cancer. There it is, out there, going around. She\u2019s thanking me, she\u2019s thanking the Christ in me. She thanked me, but it\u2019s the Christ<\/em> in me that\u2019s taken away what the doctor could not take away, so let\u2019s clap and rejoice for her, because it may be you<\/em> sometime.<\/p>\n

Female Singer<\/strong>: (with Jones, both singing)<\/p>\n

(sound fades away, tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderate, conversational) I saw the miracles last night, and so, so precious, as you gave. And I never will \u2013 when I preach the truth \u2013 I never will take an offering until I preach it. You never seen me do it in all the days in your life. When I get ready to give you the whole<\/em> truth, I\u2019ll never take an offering, ever though I don\u2019t get a dime. Because I think you need to know the truth. Now we\u2019ve got babies that we\u2019re adopting\u2013 Take a look at that woman carrying that cancer. The woman that\u2019s carrying the cancer that just was passed. Take a look at it. That same woman was a Catholic sister when I came to her. She was paralyzed<\/em> on her side with a stroke. And when I came to her, she\u2019d been healed ever since and travels all over the world. Been over to the Promised Land, travels all over America, and she\u2019s way up there in her years\u2013 That\u2019s none of your business, \u2018cause you\u2019re as old as you think you are (chuckles).<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (laughs, claps)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Laughs) Well, I just wanted to point it out to you. She was paralyzed entirely<\/em> by a stroke, and now she\u2019s carrying that cancer that woman just passed, (voice rises to a shout) and yet nobody on earth today but the Christ of the hundredfold that can take a cancer out like that!<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: (cheers, applauds; music begins)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Praises God, praises God. Now if we will give as we receive. There\u2019s only one offering, one chance\u2013<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (speaking slowly, moderately) not go home, (unintelligible word, could be \u201cMeredith\u201d) Chris. (Pause) Now let\u2019s see the woman holding up the (stumbles over words) \u201cThe Letter Killeth.\u201d She gets a disability you wouldn\u2019t believe, how many hundred dollars every month. But she\u2019s healed<\/em>, \u2018cause I spoke the word to her. And I want you to look, I want you to look, because it can happen to you, if you\u2019ll believe. But some of you are worried about the truth. It\u2019s bothering you so, that you can\u2019t get your mind open to receive the healing<\/em> now. Now try<\/em> to show your faith, show your faith by your works.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Male<\/strong>: (music playing) \u2013will do for you\u2013<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Pamela Jo Keller, who\u2019s got someone\u2013 loved one down here? Pamela Jo? Pamela Jo. Right down here. The second row. Keep our hands clasped. (Pause) Don\u2019t have any\u2013 not giving anything, but you\u2019ve got your big heart and giving all<\/em>. You\u2019re prepared to give all. It doesn\u2019t matter what you give. You wouldn\u2019t be barred from healing, but it\u2019ll be what you give, as long as you\u2019ve given if you\u2019ve been blessed. Uh\u2013 You\u2019ve not mentioned this person to anyone?<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: No.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I don\u2019t know anything about your loved ones, that, uh, a niece is it or something, a loved\u2013 uh, loved one? Keep our hands clasped.<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: Little granddaughter.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Yeah. Granddaughter. I was thinking about something else, I\u2019ll get right back to it. Just a minute. Keep our hands clasped. (pause while organ music plays; singer humming) There\u2019s a reverend, uh, by the name of Jacob, sometime that you\u2019ve had contact with.<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: That was my former pastor before I come here.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I see. Hands clasped. I don\u2019t know him, but I know some of the effect<\/em> on your body. Keep your hands clasped. Keep your hands clasped (pause; organ music continues playing). Laurie? Who\u2019s Laurie?<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: That\u2019s me.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Keep our hands clasped. You\u2013 you used to take care of Garrett\u2019s uh, sons, or something?<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Keep our hands clasped. Mighty God.<\/p>\n

Man in Congregation<\/strong>: Mighty God. Mighty God.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: That\u2019s right, mighty God.<\/p>\n

Voices in Congregation<\/strong>: Yeah! Mighty God! (humming continues, organ music throughout) Mighty, mighty God. Yes. Mighty God. (long pause)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You\u2019ve had every kind of person bombard you \u2013 all kinds of vibrations \u2013 but you came out of that mess.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Now, I\u2013 I want to tell you something in your<\/em> mind. Keep our hands clasped. Keep our hands clasped.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation<\/strong>: Mighty God.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Let me just keep\u2013 (pause) keep feeling the love towards your neighbor, like it was your (draws out word) own child, someone dear to you. You\u2019re a good person to think about other people. And\u2013<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013because you\u2019re thinking about other people, something\u2019s going to happen to you tonight.<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: Thank you.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty God.<\/p>\n

Man in Congregation<\/strong>: Mighty God. Mighty God.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: In your\u2013 your heart of hearts, deep in your hearts, you\u2019re more than a pastor, you say. You are a living<\/em> Christ.<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: Right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Now it\u2019s your thought. You\u2019ve got trouble in your back, and you\u2019ve been having an oppressive heaviness in your chest.<\/p>\n

Pamela<\/strong>: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice rises slightly) Lift up your bine. Lift up your mind. Bend your back. Move it back and forth. Now, I just broke loose a growth that was in the back. I just took out a clot in the heart. (loudly) You\u2019ve been saved from two<\/em> things by the power of the living Christ.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: loud cheers<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Because as you see me, I see in you. The things you visualize in me, I have reproduced in you. As you think in your mind, so am I.<\/p>\n

(singerbegins singing)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You\u2019d better dance and shout with her, because the way you get the victory is to see God!<\/p>\n

(Organ music and singing fades, then tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (begins in middle of sentence; growing into a ministerial fervor) \u2013you said you see me that me that way? Who can know the thoughts of your mind? It said only the Word can know the thoughts of your mind. Said the Word is sharper than a two-edged sword, it discerns the thoughts, it knows the intents of the heart, it cuts away the bones from the marrow, and it quickens the body. (pause; singer hums) Separates the soul from the spirit. If somebody knows your thoughts<\/em>, friend, you\u2019d better take into account that they\u2019re sent.<\/p>\n

Female Voice<\/strong>: Oh yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (ministerial fervor) And how can you hear without a preacher, and how can he preach lest he\u2019s sent? Mighty God, mighty God. Mighty God, (unintelligible under singer)<\/p>\n

Male Voice<\/strong>: (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty God. (Pause) Your daughter\u2019s been oppressed by someone\u2013<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013that wanted to design something to get something away from her.<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yeah. Thank you Jesus!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>Yes, I know. Thank you, Christ. You\u2019ve thought in your mind that the devil is destroying her mind\u2013<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013and her home and her little one.<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>And I wanna go on down now to show you. I don\u2019t know a thing about you. You have relatives in Florida?<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You\u2019ve visited there\u2013<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013but you don\u2019t like Florida, I see in your mind.<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: No, no, no.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You have daughters in Philadelphia?<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God, mighty God.<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Jesus.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: I wanna go way back. Somebody caused you to have a phone bill way back in the month of, let me say, May\u2013 May 1972. You go back and you check, you\u2019ll remember a little bit about it. You had a phone bill of $521.62!<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You remember that big phone bill?<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Well, let\u2019s keep our hands up, let\u2019s keep our hands up. Mighty God. (voice rising) I come against that condition\u2013<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Jesus.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013I come against that condition that is oppressing that young woman\u2013<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Mighty God!<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013by the power and the\u2013 (Claps hands once) It\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

Essa<\/strong>: Thank you!<\/p>\n

No, the day after<\/em> tomorrow, and it would\u2019ve injured you for life. I\u2019m reaching out to your brother, who has a kidney<\/em> problem that\u2019s going to develop in his body, that would\u2019ve destroyed him and he would\u2019ve been on dialysis.

Pearl<\/strong>: Thank God.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Mighty God. (singer\u2019s voice grows loud) And you\u2019d had a bowel obstruction in August, but you won\u2019t have it now. That\u2019s also taken care of. (pause) (singing continues)<\/p>\n

(Tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: \u2013address of our New York meeting. We\u2019re going to be in the first time ever healing services conducted in the greatest cathedral in New York. 110 Amsterdam. You hear what I\u2019m saying? What\u2019s the name of that cathedral? St.\u2013 St. John\u2019s Divine. You\u2019ve heard of that great cathedral? I\u2019m a friend of the bishop<\/em> of the Episcopalian church [Rt. Rev. Paul Moore, Jr., Bishop of New York]. I\u2019ve reached out to people in various levels. So how many will tell your loved ones up in New York? You need to give them the truth<\/em>, \u2018cause we\u2019re gonna have shakin\u2019<\/em> of truth<\/em> over there. \u2018Cause God is shaking up everything that can be shaken, so that (voice grows loud) that which cannot be shaken will remain! Praise his name. (voice moderates) How many will tell your loved ones? Some of you oughta come on over with us. We\u2019re gonna be in New York for two<\/em> nights. Tomorrow night, and the next night. I\u2019m gonna be speaking to the Council of Churches, and then tomorrow night at seven-thirty at one-one-ten, is it? 110 Amsterdam, St. John the Divine, the great big cathedral, worldwide-known, one that\u2019s supposed to be the world\u2019s largest temple. So be there, be there, and tell your loved ones. Put your hand on your neighbor and tell them of three miracles. That\u2019s what we call agreement \u2013 two, three, greeting together. Tell \u2018em of three miracles that you\u2019ve seen God do here, in the land of the living. The sister tonight got healed, that was crippled in her back, because she said, \u201cI perceive<\/em> you\u2019re more than a pastor.\u201d You\u2019ve heard what I told, I\u2019m not gonna repeat it. You are the living<\/em>. What do you see tonight? Because as you think, so<\/em> is it. As you think, so is it. Put out your hand, by the faith<\/em> and by the power<\/em> of the hundredfold (singing becomes louder; Jones\u2019s voice grows to ministerial fervor) I am, so art thou! What thou seeth in me I see in you! (voice quiets) I see Christ<\/em> in you. What do you see in me? What do you see in me? Blessed<\/em> be the name. Blessed<\/em> be the name. Blessed<\/em> be the name. Blessed<\/em> be the name. Put your hand on the\u2013 your neighbor. (voice rising in intensity) I don\u2019t care if you\u2019ve not been called out yet, keep on writing me. You\u2019ll get what you\u2019re looking for. Be sure you look at all those pictures of the Promised Land. The apartment buildings were not built then, but you can still see the beautiful food \u2013 two hundred different crops \u2013 and we got an ocean-going vessel. You don\u2019t know about Noah\u2019s Ark, but we got one. We got a boat to\u2013 Marcus Garvey. The ole\u2019 Marcus Garvey vision, because that was a prophet. You<\/em> remember Marcus Garvey. We\u2019ve got the Marcus Garvey express. Praise the name of Christ. Praise the name of Christ. I love you. I love you. Be sure you have our address. What is it? Peoples Temple, Post Office Box 15023, isn\u2019t it? San Francisco, California. And get in touch with us, keep<\/em> in touch with us. If you need a way home, you need a home? We\u2019llgive<\/em> you a home tonight. You hear what I said. One going home with us, you\u2019d better come on, come on, \u2018cause we\u2019ve got plenty. In our Father\u2019s house (voice rises to full throat) there are many mansions, hallelujah!<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Yeah! (cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (voice moderates) If it were not so I would\u2019ve told you. Glory to his name. Let\u2019s just love our neighbor, love them good. Love them good. Love them good. (Jones\u2019s voice grows quieter in recording) Be sure to get \u201cThe Letter Killeth,\u201d get the oil and the healing pictures \u2013 Praise the name \u2013 and the record and the music. Thousands and tens<\/em> of thousands of healings have been done by all those objects. Keep studying what I said, until that truth<\/em> gets in you. Evangelists, you should step forward. (singing grows louder)<\/p>\n
